Video Calling

How does it work with the Epic? Can you initiate a video call straight from the dialer? A lot of phones my friends would get unlocked from europe all had front facing cams. Like the e75 i think.
Or is video calling only available with qik? Yuk.

Only works through Qik I think.

Fring works well. You have to initiate within the fring app but since it runs in the background you can always receive. Qik never works for me.

I was not able to video chat with aim or google talk... it said it was not supported..

for those of you that have had issues with qik for the epic, the fix is to goto the app store and download qik for htc evo. This came from there help desk.
Out of the box qik would always force reset on me, sometimes it would work for outgoing vid connect but for the most part it would always crash when accessing the address list or imitating a call.
They suggested the build for the evo since you can not remove the bundled version. Well it worked and it seems much more snappy.

I've searched like mad, and I haven't found any way to video chat with any PC clients, especially Skype. If anyone finds one, let me know, but as far as my knowledge goes there's no way to video chat with users of anything besides Fring and Qik, which makes it nearly useless to me.

also, conference calls are possible (but I don't thing with videochat - just plain voice conference), if you are not the host, i.e. if you are invited in. Other than that, I have found everything working.
But: As the HD2 doesn't have a front-facing camera, why should it be able to videochat? All I can guess is, that you will be able to see other ppl, but I don't think, that you will be able to use your backfacing camera.

Google Talk video chat

Was anybody successful using video chat in Talk when calling a user at a PC with webcam? Meaning NOT Xoom to Xoom?
I've tried calling my wife when she was in gmail (on PC with webcam), but can't seem to show my ugly face to her.

I have done this with no issues. The other person was on windows, using chrome at the gmail web site

I have done gtalk video as well. Xoom to Mac.

Worked great for me xoom to win7 using gmail on pc

+1 but have only used calling my wifes SgS2

Well, Skype was just purchased by Microsoft for 8.5 Billion, so lets see what happens to Skype having FFC support for Android... If its on the roadmap, it will still see the light of day but for how long until M$ starts to mess with Skype?

Are you guys calling other SGSII only?

I used qik and called my friend on his iphone 4

And I am sure you looked Crystal Clear while he looked "OK"...

Does anyone know of an Android video chat app that can connect to Live Messenger / Video Kinect? I'd really like to try video chatting with my daughter through the Xbox once I get the SGS2.

Fring works brilliantly for me

If this is there so compatible video chat app then they can throw it in the bin who is going to use this when Google has launched there chat that works on loads of devices
Is this why they have not given us Video option on the Google app
